Also, will you PLEASE be more careful when cutting and pasting from the original article.

I want to leave your grammatical and typographical gaffes unmentioned, but you give me no recourse.

Maybe read through your story at least *once* before publishing?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If he is 6&#039;5 in this video then he is playing in a league with a bunch of giant 7th-8th graders. At 6&#039;5 he should be dunking on everyone, playing above all those kids. Good luck to the young man in his basketball career though.

But what was his pops thinking going with Bol Bol? At that age he could easily be teased with Bo Bo the clown as a nickname.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I honestly didn&#039;t see anything that was all that impressive.  Maybe the biggest thing was the between the legs dribble and around the back pass, but that was pretty much it.  The kid obviously has rang on his shot, but he needs to fix his form quite a bit.  At 6&#039;5 you can&#039;t be shooting the ball from your waist, it completely diminishes your height advantage.  Also the way he was going from the triple threat position right into his shot can cause erratic shooting.  You need to go from triple threat, bring the ball up, and then shoot.  He&#039;s shooting the ball as he brings it up.  

His dribbling didn&#039;t seem fluid. and his movement was a little robotic.  he needs to loosen those legs if he wants to play on the perimeter.  A lot of this is bad coaching.  At his size, and potential size, he needs to focus on playing down low, keeping the ball up, and utilizing his height advantage.  The only advantage a taller player has on the outside is the ability to shoot over someone else and he loses that by bringing the ball back down to the defender on his jump shot.  He&#039;s getting by on talent alone because no one is teaching him the fundamentals.  If you&#039;re not strong enough to shoot the ball the right way from deep, than you shouldn&#039;t be shooting it from deep.  Step in and shoot it correctly.  It&#039;s a lot easier to get stronger than it is to change your shooting motion once you get used to it.

The kid has the talent to be good, but he&#039;s lacking the basic fundamentals to be great.  Also with his body type, he is prone to more injuries.  if he wants to play in the NBA, he&#039;s going to have to focus on taking care of his body.

Oh and Kurt can you please proofread just one?  it&#039;s getting ridiculous.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[i&#039;m pretty sure, for those of us that played, we all had awkward shooting forms in junior high. naturally, as you get stronger, watch the game and play the game more, you tend to get a better feel for how you want your shot to look. but yea, practice makes perfect. he definitely has to work on it like you say. but i won&#039;t criticize it because of the stage of the game he&#039;s in now. he&#039;s still a baby.]]></description>
